RICHMOND, Va, April 1.-Gov. Lee to-day re-
ceiyed cablegram from Mr. Bouverie. chairman
OF the council Of foreign bOndhoders In London in
relation to the debt settlement, In which Mr.. BOIL
verie says: "YOur cable OF 31st Is satisfactory IL
Is essential, however, that sufficient time be al

assemble after, say, thirty days to receive the
report OF the committee, Or will your committee
have power TO sit after the dissolution OF the
legislature and report TO the next legislature If
the deliberations were limited TO the present sit

LONDON, April LA friend In private life, who
had interviews yesterday with Gladstone and Par
nell, mas placed me in possession of direct infor-
NATION upon their feelings and intentions
with regard to the present situation.
Botn leaders expressed q strong conviction that
the coercion bill will not become law. SIT will
not pass, said PaFnell SIT shall not pass, said
Gladstone. The latter added, 81 will take any
steps that may be necessary to prevent it,
buI Ihey say the speaker is prepared TO suspend

IL would not stop there" In further conversation
GLADSTONE EXPRESSED EVEN GREATER INDIGNATION
ana astonishment at the contents Of the bill than
ne has already expressed in the house. Parnell
was cooler, but not less confident in his belief
that In face OF the absolutely exhaustive OppoS-
ton which will be offered by the solid phalanx of
noerals, radicals and Irish members to every line,
ana, necessary, almost every word OF the bill
ment will find 1t practically impossible, though
their majority, theoretically, amply suffices to
carry the measure without such vital modiflca-
tions as will render the Introduction Of 1t at all
only d1scredttable to them.
Is OF The greatest interest, OF course, to know
men most entitled to speak, but must add that
less informed persons fail to what is to prevent
the success or the government II they stick TO their
guns. A prominent member of the cabinet said to
me Ia 81 night that they, OF course fully expected
great and sudden increase of crime, both agrarian
and OF more serious sort.
LABOUCHERE'S SCRIPTURAL PRECEDENT FOR BOYCOTT
TING.
There was an angry but unimportant squabble
the commons last night. The only points of the
debate worth mentioning were Labouchere's de-
tense OF 0oycotttng on scrptural grounds by
means OF the text: "FOr the Jews have no deal
ings with the SamaritanS" which plunged the
house into roaFs OF laughter for two minutes, and
his suggestion that instead OF bringing Irish pris
Oners to an English jury 1t would be simpler and
less expensive to send an English jury over to Dub
lin. The Primrose League headed by Lord Salisbury,
he added with perfect accuracy, was the most
gigantic ooycotttng association ever known.
From the conversation quoted above am con-
vlnGeo again that the prophecy l ventured to
make last December that Salisbury would find
himself compelled to dissolve parliament about
Easter Will prove to have been not far from the
mark.

PRKFERRED DEATH TO WORKING IN A BUrCHEE



VIM. II. Howe, aged - years. the step-sOn OF ex-
Alderman and Vice President Mooney, of the New
York board of aldermen, shot himself through the
heart in the front parlor OF Mrs N. 4. Hearsey's
residence, 375 Fourth avenue, shortly before mid
night Tuesday night, and died almost instantly.
He was paying attention to Mrs. Hearseys daugh-
ter, and had been a frequent caller. No cause for
his rash act can be assigned, except that he had
failed to secure employment to his taste. His
mother was Mrs Howe before she married Mr.
Mooney about five years ago. She and her son
lived in Astoria, where William, then about 10
years OF age, had spent good deal OF time about
the inn and livery stable, which his father kept
there until he died. Mr.. Mooney found place for
his step-son in his butcher shop, but Howe didn't
like u work. His life OF comparative fdleneSS
about the livery stable and inn In Astoria had de-
velOped a fondneSs for tasteful dress which was
directly opposed to the idea OF occupation In a
meat market. After while the young man put
aside the detested apron OF the butcher and set
out % find clerkship. His search Tor pleaSanter
employment was long and disappointing, and the
young man became mOrose.
